CENTEX gives students the opportunity
not only in academics, but also to hone their talents in the arts, particularly
in music and dance. Through the after-hours art program, students excel not
only in academics; they also hone their skills in other areas of learning and
development.

This year, CENTEX celebrates its 20th
anniversary, and to mark this occasion Ayala Foundation, in partnership with
the Ayala Multi-Purpose Cooperative, is hosting “MAD4Arts,” a benefit concert
for the CENTEX After-Hours Program on May 9, 2018, at the Ayala Museum, Makati
City.

Serving as musical director for this
concert is Maestro Ruggero Barbieri, former music director and principal
conductor of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra. He will be joined by
acclaimed violinist Alfonso “Coke” Bolipata and the Pundaquit Vurtuosi, which
is the resident chamber orchestra of CASA San Miguel.

“MAD4Arts” also showcases the talent
of CENTEX students who went through the arts program. Five CENTEX alumni,
personally trained by Bolipata himself, will be performing with the Pundaquit
Virtuosi, while a CENTEX Manila alumna will be lending her voice to the event
through a song number. Alumni of the STEPS Dance Program will also be
performing at the event.

“Art plays an important role in the
holistic development of children,” said Ruel Maranan, President of Ayala
Foundation, “which is why the After Hours Arts Program has helped our CENTEX
students become more confident young men and women.”

“We at the Ayala Multi-Purpose
Cooperative believe in the importance of providing the under-privileged youth a
brighter future and have pursued Education, whether in the classroom or the
arts as its advocacy.,” said Lourdes Orosa, general manager of the Ayala Multi-Purpose
Cooperative. “We are honored to partner with Ayala Foundation to promote the
After Hours Arts Program at CENTEX.”

Founded in 1998, CENTEX has two
campuses—one in Tondo, Manila, and the other in Bauan, Batangas. Aside from
these two schools, The program has also trained over 800 teachers from 20
public elementary schools across the country, thus effectively bringing the
CENTEX education model across the country.
